Sirens sounded across Iowa yesterday morning as part of a statewide tornado drill.

Washington and Keokuk County Emergency Management Coordinator Larry Smith says they treated it like a real situation to test the various facets of emergency response.

Smith as well as Washington County Sheriff Jerry Dunbar, 911 Supervisor Cara Sorrells, Washington Police Chief Greg Goodman and WeatherEye Meteorologist Laura Lockwood spoke with KCII during the drill about what their roles are during severe weather.
